Which Raid Card should I get?


Recommended Posts

I bought a old poweredge server for home use to mess around with. I need a SATA Card to add SATA Hard Drives. This is for a file server only running FreeNAS. I have found a card on Amazon that I like and found a used one on Ebay that looks like it used to be an Enterprise level card but older.. I am using this box for a ESX Data Store

And the one on Amazon,

I'm not sure which one I should go with..

I have that exact same Syba controller card. I never had any problems.

First 3ware has 6 ports, Syba has 4, second 3ware has 12 ports. About the only difference.
